Aloha & welcome to Laupahoehoe. Sunny, spacious, and full of character, this two-level home offers four bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, ocean views, and a great location to enjoy life along the Hamakua Coast. The kitchen, bedrooms, and living areas are all located upstairs, where large windows w/ custom window treatments welcome lots of natural light. Warm wood walls, teak hardwood flooring, ceramic tile, and high ceilings give the home an inviting feel. The kitchen offers two pantry areas and good cabinet storage, while there are several storage options around the home as well. Beyond the main living space, an extended living area with a wet bar provides the perfect place for entertaining and/or relaxing. Step outside onto the open lanai from there and take in the ocean views and that fresh Hamakua air. The yard is filled with tropical landscaping and a variety of edibles, including coconut, lilikoi, dragon fruit, citrus, pineapple, macadamia, papaya, and more. Palms, hapuu ferns, aloe, rock gardens/walls, and walkways add to the property’s charm. Mature macadamia nut trees are found near the lower portion of the yard in areas that could be cleared and opened up for even more usable space or for more room to grow. There's a shed in the garden as well. Downstairs features two storage rooms, workshop areas, workbenches, an outdoor sink (with an additional outdoor sink off the laundry room), a carport, and ample room for tools, yard equipment, hobbies, and storage. The home also features a solar hot water system and a freshly painted exterior. Located in Laupahoehoe, the property is just a short drive from the Beach Park, post office, charter school, and Papaaloa Country Store/Cafe. Hilo and Honokaa are also within easy reach. If you are looking for a warm and welcoming home with space, tropical surroundings, ocean views, and the relaxed character, this one is worth seeing.
